No one has started a place just to say hi, and yack about who they are and where they come from.So, gulp, here goes:I got this ISO for DamnSmallLinux from a LinuxFormat Magazine.It was the first Live CD I ever used. So that is how I discovered DSL.Having a WIndows Computer that crashed everytime it snowedup here in Vermont (an area know as the NorthEast Kingdom) DSLquickly became my choice because I could at least get on the netand read my E-mail.

Being surprized (and glad) I didn't have to enter my birthdate, I decidedto try a forum. Most of you would probably call me a Grandma becauseall those bells and whistles you like don't really appeal to me. It's allunappealing glitz to me. I'd rather a command line, an editor, and I writethe most unappealing "down and dirty" CC programs, that seem to "get-r-done".

I've worn a lot of hats before my hair turned grey... I'll only mention onebecause it's probably of interest here. They hid me in a non-windowed14 by 14 room with an Apollo computer (huge, huge sit in front of box)in an area called R&D... There I designed computers, and did most ofmy work in assembly language. Did a lot of firmware using 8048, 8080for various research projects.

Wow. Someone around the Alps where all the good winecome from. Somewhere near Dijon I presumme...Yes, in fact one of the first Apollo graphic units... You could PM me... It was my intent that this area be used justto give a little intro so we knew a little about other DSL members.
